Why, Procrastination Station!
I meant to work on my novel. Honest….. I did. However, I ended up doing the dishes. Slowly. And make myself breakfast. Slowly. And eat it. Slowly.
Now, I’m contemplating a run to Anytime Fitness. But it seems the ticket booth at Procrastination Station is closed!
Sigh.
Oh well.
This is what I have to deal with every morning when I sit at my computer. I try to tell Cinnamon that is not a real mouse, and is certainly not the way you go about catching a mouse. But, as usual, she neither complies nor acknowledges that she hears me.
Because, you know, nothing counters the winter doldrums than a picture of summer. This, by the way, is the Vermilion Falls in Hastings. It’s right behind the Con-Agra mill.
See, the plan was simple. Elegantly simple. It was to remain inside and stay warm and cozy with My Love. However, she wasn’t paying attention yesterday when she picked up some ingredients for the chili she is making today in the slow cooker. She grabbed two cans of diced tomatoes and one can of crushed tomatoes. Unfortunately, one of the cans of diced tomatoes was flavored with Basil, Oregano, and Garlic. Yeah, that’s right. I don’t think there’s such a thing as Italian Chili.
Sigh. I guess I will also take the time to pick up some AA batteries and a few odds and ends since I have to brave the cold, miserable weather. But than, that’s what you do when you love someone as much as I do My Love.
This is not all that surprising. A few years ago there were reports coming out of Africa of kids taking human excrement, sealing it in a bottle, and then letting it sit in the sun for a few days. After that they’d open it up and take a good, deep whiff.
Then there were the alcohol atomizers. Instead of drinking it, you breathed it in as a mist. It was set to become all the rage, but I think it faded.
There’s a new trend to getting drunk. Butt chugging is becoming more popular, but be careful, it can get dangerous.

Some of this is as much media overreaction and playing on basic human fears – it goes back millenniums that kids are just no damn good.
Still, at what point is this suddenly a good idea?
And next thing you know, when doing Chemical Health assessments I’ll be asking if they are sharing bottles the same way I have to ask if they’re sharing needles……
This Natural Area was once part of our old farm. The majority of the land is now a rural housing development in Southern Washington County. What I used to jokingly call the back 40 is really only about 5 acres, and is now prairie restoration. North of that are valleys created by centuries of run off from spring melts. It’s really quite beautiful. I’ve got close to 50 or 60 pictures I’ve taken over the years. Some of which I’ve lost. Hopefully I’ll be able to locate them, because down in the eastern end of the valleys are some 80 or 90 year old poplar trees that are stunning.
Here’s a picture from the north side of the valley. If you click on the picture you can just make out the back of the sign that’s in the first picture.
Known for his charismatic clowning and his halfcourt hook shots, Lemon was the Globetrotters’ top showman for more than two decades.
I grew up watching the Harlem Globetrotters’ specials. It was never the same without Meadowlark and the rest from the 70s.
Ain’t that the truth!
This is me in real life 90% of the time :)Follow – Funny Vines
